If I were you I would stay as far away from those plugs as you can get. I guess there starting to have problems with manufacturing process or so they tell me. I bought a set and put them in my car, after about a month the car started to run rough and the engine light came on (missfire detected). I checked the plugs and all looked fine. I even checked for spark and still everything great. After a closer inspection of the plugs I noticed a slight rust color ring around one of the plugs right where the ceramic meets the metal on the outside of the plug. It ended up being a bad plug. The plug would test fine but when you put it back into the cylinder and put it under load it would missfire like crazy.
I called Pyrotek and they know about this problem. They said it was caused by water or moisture around the plug causing it to fault. They said that the rust ring was due to all the arcing inside the plug. This is a Manufacturing process defect that they have corrected and I am supposed to send them bact the plug and a recipt to get my money back. What BS!

Now I don't know about you but I dont think I would want a plug in my machine that can fault out it it gets a little moisture on it.

 

I have no reason to switch plugs in my two Sportsman's...........Just wondering what all the hype is with this plugs.....you see ads everywhere.........What do they claim is better on them?
....Caper........

 

I'll stick with my NGK's...

Sounds good.......But my Dealer put Champion in at my 10 hour first service.......He told me there a better plug in the Sportsman then the NGK???

I don't agree with him.......but the Champion are still in there with over 3500 miles...............I guess I should change the plugs this spring??......LOL.........
Maybe I will put NGK back in......
......Caper...........

 

I have them in my 2002 Taurus for over 4 years now, put them in my wife's civic a few years back. It is also in my Simplicity lawn mower, Honda 1132 snowblower, Stihl chainsaw along with a gas hedge trimmer I have. All seems well so far...I will keep putting them in as long as I have good success with them. Things fire up really well and haven't had any issue with fouling, bad spark, etc etc.

 

Yep, work good!

 

Hit and miss with these E3 plugs. I would stick with NGK's... specifically the iridium's.
